[Nico O’Reilly Bids Farewell to England National Team Amid Injury Setback]
England left‑back Nico O’Reilly has withdrawn from the squad ahead of the final two Nations League matches of the international break due to injury.
Although he featured throughout the 3‑2 defeat to Spain, O’Reilly could not appear in Tuesday’s 2‑0 win over the Czech Republic after suffering a setback.
Returning to Manchester City for further assessment, the midfielder is slated to miss the trip to Croatia on Saturday and the follow‑up encounter with the Czechs on Tuesday.
England’s management clarified that no replacement players will be called up to take his place.
Lewis Hall came on at right back in place of O’Reilly, and the Newcastle United centre‑back worked effectively with former Magpies teammate Anthony Gordon along the left wing.
